Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation in epilepsy patients enhances cooperative behavior in the prisoner’s dilemma task

Scientific Reports, 2022
The vagus nerve constitutes a key link between the autonomic and the central nervous system. Previous studies provide evidence for the impact of vagal activity on distinct cognitive processes including functions related to social cognition.

Differential effects of vagus nerve stimulation strategies on glycemia and pancreatic secretions

Physiological Reports, 2020
Despite advancements in pharmacotherapies, glycemia is poorly controlled in type 2 diabetic patients. As the vagus nerve regulates energy metabolism, here we evaluated the effect various electrical vagus nerve stimulation strategies have on glycemia and ...

Protective effects of an interaction between vagus nerve and melatonin on gastric ischemia/reperfusion: the role of oxidative stress [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2016
Objectives:Vagal pathways in gastrointestinal tract are the most important pathways that regulate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).  Gastrointestinal tract is one of the important sources of melatonin production.

Optical vagus nerve modulation of heart and respiration via heart-injected retrograde AAV

Scientific Reports, 2021
Vagus nerve stimulation has shown many benefits for disease therapies but current approaches involve imprecise electrical stimulation that gives rise to off-target effects, while the functionally relevant pathways remain poorly understood.

First‐in‐human microelectrode recordings from the vagus nerve during clinical vagus nerve stimulation

Epilepsia Open
Introduction Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective treatment for people with drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, its mechanisms of action are poorly understood, including which nerve fibers are activated in humans during VNS in typical clinical ...

tVNS Increases Liking of Orally Sampled Low-Fat Foods: A Pilot Study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Recently a role for the vagus nerve in conditioning food preferences was established in rodents. In a prospective controlled clinical trial in humans, invasive vagus nerve stimulation shifted food choice toward lower fat content. Here we explored whether

Vagus nerve–driven microbiota homeostasis: a promising integrative add-on therapy for neurodevelopmental disorders

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Over the past two decades, the conceptualization of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has undergone a profound transformation, shifting from a primarily brain-centric framework toward a systems-level perspective that integrates peripheral physiological
